I'm a few months short of 80 years old. I have enough hip pain that when I get out of bed in the morning I can barely walk. *But...,* after I complete my daily exercise routine that includes seven strength exercises alternating with seven stretch exercises, the pain is 80-90% gone and I have no impingement that limits what I can do. The stretches include: a three-minute kyphosis hold; the cross-knee push like you demonstrated early in this video 10 reps each leg with a five second hold; a one-minute bridge hold; knees to chest 10 reps each leg with a five second hold; right, left, forward stretch on knees for as far as I can reach on a 65 cm yoga ball 20 reps; 60 standing side kicks 30 each leg; and finally a repeat of the kyphosis exercise. FWIW, the 10-20% pain remaining is almost background, I don't feel it unless I actually think to feel if it is there. This works well for me.
There's a supplement I take, Active joint platinum, if I don't take it I get chronic pain. Taking it I have loads less pain. You may want to try it? (I don't work for them, I have osteoarthritis since 13 yo, and psoriatic arthritis, along with osteopenia in my left hip. I go to the gym and regularly ride my bike, and walk.
I was told to stay off of my feet or do the absolute bare minimum for 6 months (minimum), which as a mum of 4 is impossible, whilst my Physio worked on "injuries". I lasted a month and couldn't keep going, it made lil improvement, but I wanted something long term. Then last year I came across your videos (even commenting on others) and got significantly better and no longer in crippling pain. This past weekend I entered a State Tournament for Karate and walked away a State Champ for the 35-44 women's combined 6th-4th Kyu Kumite and got gold. Considering I was needing to be carried basically everywhere by my husband I never would have thought I would do Karate, enter tournaments and win medals. The thought alone, just a short nearly 2 years ago, would have been laughable. Thank you Matt for your videos
Wow; thank you for sharing your experience! This is encouraging. I'm hoping to get better too! Am normally a very active person and feel awful not being able to do much of anything!
@@sagedakotalmft7763 As Matt has always said in his videos, 'slow is safe, fast is foolish'. I know of so many people whom are wanting immediate results, and end up giving up instead of continuing. But if you do his videos at least 3 times a week or as much as you can muster, you will most definitely see results. Just the fact that I found better relief through his videos than I ever did from specialists. I even had a Neurosurgeon say to me that I apparently didn't wanna get better because I refused to take the surgery option and I'm so glad I didn't.
I had hip pain & my mri discovered a laberal tear. I had a prp and it worked beautifully! I’m 68 and that was 2 years ago. I still do strengthens exercises ( monster walks, bridges, etc). I love hiking & am active with my grandkids. Doing steps doesn’t hurt anymore or getting up from sitting. Keep yourself active & let your body heal itself active ❤️
I appreciate this video so much. I’m 51 and have had ongoing hip problems for three years. I’ve had two injections and am now preparing to meet with my orthopedic doctor next week. I continue to exercise and work towards avoiding surgery. Though others have told me hip surgery was amazing and theyfeel like a twenty year old.
Matt, you are literally an angel, a guardian angel. Thank you for really helping us to think about not blindly outsourcing our health to people who are part of a broken system. You give me hope every single day.
Excellent video! Thank you. I needed this confirmation to continue working with my body to avoid surgery or other disabling treatments following issues/injuries to rotator cuffs (both sides), lower back, neck, carpal tunnel, knees, planar fascitis. I've been successful working on my own, learning online and listening to my body, plus finding a gifted deep tissue massage therapist who understands and supports my goals. I've learned much from you and adopted several daily routines from your presentations. Every one of my friends have had so many of those surgeries, some more than once (knees, rotator cuffs, hip replacements). I will continue to educate myself and take action to avoid the standard medical/surgical path, especially for people my age. (Really, it feels like they see a big walking dollar sign when I enter a medical office.) I'll be 82 on Sunday, and so far, so good! Thanks again.
I want to share my experience which is a bit different. I’m in Canada. After seeing GP, started physio, months later no improvement. Surgeon I saw actually recommended I do a strengthening routine before considering the surgery. I was impressed. But no real improvement. Did CT scan. Showed tear, and deformity in hip and pretty severe arthritis. Surgeon actually recommended replacement instead of arthroscopic (he was actually only an arthroscopic surgeon so didn’t do replacements). Impressed. He wasn’t in it for himself. He actually said arthroscopic was only 60-70% of fixing it. So saw a full replacement surgeon. He said no!!! Basically Said I wasn’t disabled enough. Said I would likely need replacement in a few years. Since I had tried exercises I was given without results I had the arthroscopy. While I’ve improved it’s not great. So saw different surgeon who asked if I wanted replacement. I said yes as I’d tried everything I was told. Currently in the queue for surgery. So not all surgeons are bad. I have literally just signed up for Matt’s hip program. I will update in a month and share my results.
Thank you for continuing to help educate us Matt. The amount of bad information in American healthcare and orthopedics just overwhelms people. It's great to have encouraging voices of sanity like yourself giving us common sense and practical measures to keep ourselves strong.
20 years ago i hurt my right knee by abruptly start running at 7.5 mph. Years of biking, swimming, yoga, weight lifting, elliptical machine did not prevent my knees from hurting. Those low-impact movements had made my knees weak for years. 20 years later, now I can run, jump without any knee problems. I can perform Asian squat, too. Resting was making more problems in my case. The cure to my knee problem was slow-running (5 mph) to rebuild strength and stimulate/put moderate stress on my knee joints and legs. I do not like running, but I learned from my experience that I need to keep running to keep my knees strong and mobile while keep doing biking, swimming, yoga, weight lifting, CrossFi, martial art. But no more elliptical machine for me.
My experience with your how to training your mussels is Fantastic! The comments below speak Volumes about our success to continue to work things out, on giving our body's what it needs! Thank you SO Much for All your hard Work and helping all of US!
This is one of your more ramble-ee videos and one of my favorites so far. Be careful, though, about admitting you were lying to your doctor (as a professional study or for whatever reason), as your provider could accuse you of insurance fraud and, e.g., make you cover the MRI in full or even drop you.
I have been dealing with, what started out as, tightness and mild sciatica down my right leg. Fast forward 6 months with countless doctor visits, PT, orthopedic visits, I now am using a cane to walk, I cannot extend my leg when I sit, let alone stand. I have a round low back and am awaiting an MRI to see if I have a disc bulge. I can barely internally rotate my leg and am in excruciating pain. I’m only 34, very active, health conscious and was planning on trying out for a baseball team in the spring of 25. Now I’ll be happy if I can put my socks on while sitting. The healthcare system has failed me and I can’t help but be infuriated.
I have had problems with my left hip for almost 10 years now and I just found your channel last night and your video on addressing a tight tfl. It's the first time I've been able to directly address, stretch, or pinpoint the problem I've been having, thank you!
The crazy experience I have had at the doctor's office is for the doctor to not even examine me, just send me for x rays and tell me to see a physical therapist.
Nope, that is insurance speaking 100%. I went through 4 different injuries this year and no matter what the docs would do or recommend, insurance required an x-ray and PT before an orthopedic doctor could even look at me. Ridiculous. Especially when the injuries were obviously soft tissue. It's a joke. It sadly makes PT a joke. Most credible docs recognized that to know anything helpful I needed an MRI and a consult with an ortho, but would insurance listen?
Family doctors don't have a clue what to do with mobility issues. The physio does a strength mobility assessment and give you exercises. Eventually I had to have a hip replacement.
This is beyond GOLD and I can testify to all of it. The problem is that it takes dedication to the roof. But think about it, 7 years of your life to transform with progressive overload in all planes..or a lifetime of suffering. There are no alternatives in my book. FIGHT💪
Last time in 2018 I had an xray on my hip dr told me I had no arthritis. At age 29 I fractured the ball and socket in 1989 Required 2 pins in the socket. .I had the issues where I couldn't sit for extended periods and the clicking along with some pain for the last two decades. I have CFS also so very limited in exercises and stretches I can do. Still the little bit of stretching I did made a world of difference. My hope is to go to my grave without a replacement or any unwarranted or unnecessary type of surgery. Have back issues that I have also treated with traction and exercises. To my dr's defense he did send me home with a pamphlet on just those things which I ignored to my own detriment.
I just found you tonight, and I have to say thank you for being willing to criticize the medical status quo! ❤ This system is so dysfunctional that everyone I've known who has soft tissue damage expects to suffer with it for the rest of their lives. This should not be normal!
As a person with 2 chronic arthritis conditions since the age of 13, every single thing I've heard about arthritis is, move it, or lose it. It's ridiculous to sit around and do nothing and stop your life!
thank you for this discussion...I have had one hip surgery after waiting quite a while to try do otherwise..the operated hip is fine...now the other hip is showing severe arthritis with recommendations for an operation from my "regular" doctor....so I'm going to explore your videos and see if I can salvage the other hip...I hike and would hate to lose this ability and also would hate the downtime on having another operation....thank you, again, for caring and sharing!
Maybe he didn't let your leg drop down more because he was concerned if it was super tight it might tear something? I suppose he could have slowly lowered it a bit more and ask you how it felt before continuing to lower it. When my hip flexors were at their worst that would have hurt me quite a bit to drop my leg down with my other leg up like that. I've been struggling with hip flexor and psoas muscle tightness for 2 to 2 & 1/2 months as of mid Dec. Unfortunately the horrible pain in my hips has made it impossible to exercise and strengthen the muscles around that area, so it has been a Catch-22 with this problem, where I get tighter and stiffer and weaker. Have been getting chiro adjustments and stretching of the flexors, etc., and finally am able to stretch further on my own and have been able to walk a little bit. Next week am hoping to take part in a gentle yoga class. I feel like if I don't do something in the way of exercise soon I will lose my muscle tone and all that I've built up over the past year. I realized it was 2 particular exercises that are the likely culprit, and hopefully this won't happen again when I go back to exercising more regularly. Thank you for your videos! Am trying everything to get better ASAP and hopefully your tips will help! BTW, Wounded Warrior is a great project! Thank you for your donation to help our veterans and active duty members.
Thank you for this video. I really needed to hear this to help with my own resolution with all the medical gaslighting. Over the last few years I've collected injuries that just won't go away. Hips, shoulders, ribs, jaw, neck, and back. I'm living evidence rest makes it worse. I've done ages of injections and drugs, but there aren't enough properly trained PTs too help either. Typically, insurance requires upon any complaint that the patient must get an x-ray and go through at least 6 weeks of PT. I'm a fan of PT when you see someone really gifted and well-trained. Sadly, most of these people are usually DPTs, and their job is to get you off their schedule as soon as the second visit and working with a PT our even worse, a medical assistant. The way things are set up has really been a disservice to the profession. I've found the trick to healing, if you're lucky, is finding those really gifted, intuitive practitioners who take the time to hear you over time. Listening times time equals knowing how to help people.
That’s great- you’re donation scheme! 👍🏼 as well as the super helpful hip info! My hip flexors on right is excruciatingly painful right now. Pinches to nearly 10 out of 10 pain when I lift my leg to get in the car, when I sit to go to the bathroom and to get in and out of certain height chairs. I’ve been getting really nervous, but this video is helping me at ease.
I have had similar experiences with doctors and specialists and you really have to do your own research and stay active. I stopped and took it easy and it has left me debilitated. It is a long road back to recovery and health and pain is part of life but it is manageable
I workout 6 days a week and I have experienced hip flexor and IT band issues. I would especially get it on one side more than the other. Once I started doing the Asian squats that all went away, It's been almost 2 years since I have had any issues. My range of motion is better than it has ever been. In my HIT classes I now can kick my legs higher than my waist.

So i have a labral hip tear, and fibro, so it hurt quite a bit. With my coach, I've learned to take things slow and recently went to a gym, was very careful, and found i could do a little bit of many things i never would have been able to do months ago. Months ago the pt i was getting made me worse bc they loaded my hip way to much early on. Thank goodness i stopped that and got with my coach.
My worst experiense was when I had to go to the ER because my elbow had locked (i had a looken bit of bone since I broke it 15 years earlier). It had Done so before and I had manage to fix it but this time it wouldn’t. This specialist on ortopedia decided to give me a cast (I didn’t get a cast 15 years earlier). I had to have the cast for a couple of weeks and when it got removed the elbow was still locked. I had to meet several more specialists and all asked why the frost doctor had given me a cast, no one could understand why. Very soon after my shoulder started to hurt and I lost that movement. I had gotten frozen shoulder as a result of her giving me the cast.
There is even a video somewhere on UA-cam that if you cannot put on your socks on the left or right in the same way, you probably have Arthrits. The faber test is sometimes painful in my right leg, but sometimes not. My 90-90 stretch is quite painful on the left side when I go deep into internal rotation, but external rotation is more flexible than the right. Still, after a lot of stretching, I still have pain the next day. that I prefer to stick to movement exercises and skip testing.
Makes sense , I had a question I have hip arthritis. N am on a rehab and have really weak muscles.. But I wanted to know if I am standing after sitting or vice versa.. I have really pinching pain at back of my hips... I have limited external rotation.. But what exercise can be done to fix that? Since the gap between hip joint is reduced.
Hello, that's great, I feel what you're saying and I'm there with you on this topic how to address the issue with muscles not bones. But here's where I have a problem with this theory and I would like someone to explain this if they can: based on what you're saying shouldn't all people (or most of them) who sit most of the time and have no activity, have problem with range of motion and muscles? Cause I know most of my friends sit all the time, don't do any sports or exercise, but they can do with their hips what they want... no pain, no pinching, no restriction whatsoever. And me in my 40s (I'm in IT so I do sit a lot), but played all kind of sports, hiking, biking... and now have limited ROM. So, what's up with that?
Hey Matt, I’m 16 and I play baseball and like to surf, I have had fai for about a year now and due to lack of mobility and other problems o get hip pain knee pain and other things that bother me while I surf or play sports. I was wondering if there was a way I could fix that with your program so I can get more internal rotation and unlock all the mobility I need to be pain free and be able to surf and play baseball without pain.
I have been told that hip surgery is called for - BUT I have no pain in my hip - the pain that’s hurting me is in the inside my thigh - I go to stand up and it hurts (thigh inside not hip) and have to stand still a few minutes and then I can walk fairly well - is my hip the issue or the muscle inside my thigh needs to be stretched?
What if the MRI (from 2020) does show labrum tear and bone spur? Is there really a way to fix it without surgery? I have tired physical therapy with not much success. Pain is mostly inside the glute. All research I have done says that the laburm cartilage cannot get fix by itself like other parts of the body. I think I may have a lot of muscle atrophy as well because I was told to rest and I did for years now (4-5 years).....
12 years of hip pain. Tried pt, chiropractor, acupuncture, orthopedic Dr, anti-inflammatory meds. Just had MRI. Bilateral labral tears and bilateral ischiofemoral impingement w/ tendonitis, edema. Oh I tried your video with exercises that you said to do. My hip pain INCREASED from doing your exercises for 2 weeks. Your video said to build up my supporting muscles. Didn't work for me. I am going back to orthopedic Dr.
Actually yiu are the one that looks rediculous. 1. Doctors can intuit. 2. He may have sensed that you were telling lies. 3. If you were trully in pain, the doctor would not do a full range of motion so that you could sue him/her. 4. You shou look d stay away from critique a false test that you created. 5. Stop wasting time at a doctor's office displacing somebody who needed urgent care.
Just a little tip. Your monologue can kind of lose your audience. Being a bit more concise could benefit your video. No doubt you are a top notch guy! No offense meant whatsoever I’m just saying……..🫣🥴🤷🏼♀️
@@whisperingwings852 I totally agree 😊 Matt speaks from the heart and from his own experience and he has tremendous knowledge. I love his passion and encouragement - it keeps me going because it's not easy. Thank you Matt ❤️
Do you have next progressions for a rotated pelvis? I had hip labral surgery a year and a half ago and have done physical therapy since then but I can still feel it’s rotated. Please help 🥲

Sadly, most of these people are usually DPTs, and their job is to get you off their schedule as soon as the second visit and working with a PT our even worse, a medical assistant. The way things are set up has really been a disservice to the profession.
I've found the trick to healing, if you're lucky, is finding those really gifted, intuitive practitioners who take the time to hear you over time. Listening times time equals knowing how to help people.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for the reminder. Question EVERYTHING!
Geez, Matt, preach it, brother! Love your work.
That’s great- you’re donation scheme! 👍🏼 as well as the super helpful hip info! My hip flexors on right is excruciatingly painful right now. Pinches to nearly 10 out of 10 pain when I lift my leg to get in the car, when I sit to go to the bathroom and to get in and out of certain height chairs. I’ve been getting really nervous, but this video is helping me at ease.
I have had similar experiences with doctors and specialists and you really have to do your own research and stay active. I stopped and took it easy and it has left me debilitated. It is a long road back to recovery and health and pain is part of life but it is manageable
I workout 6 days a week and I have experienced hip flexor and IT band issues. I would especially get it on one side more than the other. Once I started doing the Asian squats that all went away, It's been almost 2 years since I have had any issues. My range of motion is better than it has ever been. In my HIT classes I now can kick my legs higher than my waist.
G-D BLESS YOUR ❤

So i have a labral hip tear, and fibro, so it hurt quite a bit. With my coach, I've learned to take things slow and recently went to a gym, was very careful, and found i could do a little bit of many things i never would have been able to do months ago. Months ago the pt i was getting made me worse bc they loaded my hip way to much early on. Thank goodness i stopped that and got with my coach.
My worst experiense was when I had to go to the ER because my elbow had locked (i had a looken bit of bone since I broke it 15 years earlier). It had Done so before and I had manage to fix it but this time it wouldn’t. This specialist on ortopedia decided to give me a cast (I didn’t get a cast 15 years earlier). I had to have the cast for a couple of weeks and when it got removed the elbow was still locked. I had to meet several more specialists and all asked why the frost doctor had given me a cast, no one could understand why. Very soon after my shoulder started to hurt and I lost that movement. I had gotten frozen shoulder as a result of her giving me the cast.
There is even a video somewhere on UA-cam that if you cannot put on your socks on the left or right in the same way, you probably have Arthrits.
The faber test is sometimes painful in my right leg, but sometimes not. My 90-90 stretch is quite painful on the left side when I go deep into internal rotation, but external rotation is more flexible than the right. Still, after a lot of stretching, I still have pain the next day. that I prefer to stick to movement exercises and skip testing.
I was just given naproxen. Not even seen by GP
😂😂for Fadir Sakes you broke the poor hip😂😂 I laughed so hard
Is it safe on knees to do deep squat with torn meniscus or will the meniscus tear get worse
I am in day 1 of the back program. 👍🤗🥳
Makes sense ,
I had a question I have hip arthritis.
N am on a rehab and have really weak muscles..
But I wanted to know if I am standing after sitting or vice versa.. I have really pinching pain at back of my hips...
I have limited external rotation..
But what exercise can be done to fix that? Since the gap between hip joint is reduced.
Did you report that doctor?
Hello, that's great, I feel what you're saying and I'm there with you on this topic how to address the issue with muscles not bones. But here's where I have a problem with this theory and I would like someone to explain this if they can: based on what you're saying shouldn't all people (or most of them) who sit most of the time and have no activity, have problem with range of motion and muscles? Cause I know most of my friends sit all the time, don't do any sports or exercise, but they can do with their hips what they want... no pain, no pinching, no restriction whatsoever. And me in my 40s (I'm in IT so I do sit a lot), but played all kind of sports, hiking, biking... and now have limited ROM. So, what's up with that?
Hey Matt, I’m 16 and I play baseball and like to surf, I have had fai for about a year now and due to lack of mobility and other problems o get hip pain knee pain and other things that bother me while I surf or play sports. I was wondering if there was a way I could fix that with your program so I can get more internal rotation and unlock all the mobility I need to be pain free and be able to surf and play baseball without pain.
I have been told that hip surgery is called for - BUT I have no pain in my hip - the pain that’s hurting me is in the inside my thigh - I go to stand up and it hurts (thigh inside not hip) and have to stand still a few minutes and then I can walk fairly well - is my hip the issue or the muscle inside my thigh needs to be stretched?
Do practice Tai chi?
What if the MRI (from 2020) does show labrum tear and bone spur?
Is there really a way to fix it without surgery?
I have tired physical therapy with not much success.
Pain is mostly inside the glute.
All research I have done says that the laburm cartilage cannot get fix by itself like other parts of the body.
I think I may have a lot of muscle atrophy as well because I was told to rest and I did for years now (4-5 years).....
@@MrGheller email Matt through his website. You may get an answer faster.
I emailed and got a response within a few days.
This is hilarious 😂
Interesting although very long winded. You could rather have shorted the story and actually had some exercises that help.
Sir, you scamp! ❤😂
12 years of hip pain. Tried pt, chiropractor, acupuncture, orthopedic Dr, anti-inflammatory meds. Just had MRI. Bilateral labral tears and bilateral ischiofemoral impingement w/ tendonitis, edema. Oh I tried your video with exercises that you said to do. My hip pain INCREASED from doing your exercises for 2 weeks. Your video said to build up my supporting muscles. Didn't work for me. I am going back to orthopedic Dr.
Non surgical😊
You poor thing
1 cent?
Get to the point. Please!
To much talking
Actually yiu are the one that looks rediculous. 1. Doctors can intuit. 2. He may have sensed that you were telling lies. 3. If you were trully in pain, the doctor would not do a full range of motion so that you could sue him/her. 4. You shou look d stay away from critique a false test that you created. 5. Stop wasting time at a doctor's office displacing somebody who needed urgent care.
Please edit the excess analysis and critique. It fells good to you but not to me.
Get to the point. Ramble ramble ramble wastes peoples valuable time.
Your presentation is terribly confusing. I gave up.
Just a little tip. Your monologue can kind of lose your audience. Being a bit more concise could benefit your video. No doubt you are a top notch guy! No offense meant whatsoever I’m just saying……..🫣🥴🤷🏼♀️
All Matt's videos are very consise, streamlined and clear to understand. This is his own life experience which is a nice chat with us.
@@whisperingwings852 I totally agree 😊 Matt speaks from the heart and from his own experience and he has tremendous knowledge. I love his passion and encouragement - it keeps me going because it's not easy. Thank you Matt ❤️
Do you have next progressions for a rotated pelvis? I had hip labral surgery a year and a half ago and have done physical therapy since then but I can still feel it’s rotated. Please help 🥲
👏👏👏👍🙏🌞
